One form of device embodying the invention and in the construction and use of which the object above set out, as well as others, may be attained is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a view in central vertical section through a vending receptacle embodying my invention, the packages, coin and. coin receiving foot being shown in. full. Fig. 2 is a view in vertical section on the plane denoted by the dotted line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is view in horizontal section do the plane denoted by dot-ted line 33 Of 1. tive view showing the shelf and its prong for supporting the articles.

In the accompanying drawings the nu- .,mcral,.5 denotes a casing of any suitable form and composed of any desired matebe placed therein. v is located at the lower end of the vending rial, as shown herein this being rectangular in shape, and having an opening'at the front. A vending lever 6 is pivotall y mounted on .the back wall of the casing on a pivot 7, and a guard lever-8 having a guard 9 is also pivot-ally mounted on this back wall of the casing and engages the vending lever by a pin and slot connection, as shown in dotted line in Fig, 1. A spring 10 may be employed to hold the parts in nor mal position of rest. The guard 9 projects at an angle from the," guard lever toward the front of the receptacle and is of a length to so close the coin slot 11 that a coin cannot A coin receiving foot 12 lever and this also projects from the lever at an angle toward the front of the receptacle.

A door13 closes the opening at the front of the casing and Walls 14 forming a paclg age receiver are secured to and project fron'; this door reward the back of the casing. Each of these walls is provided with a lip Fig. 4 is a detail perspec-' 5 to retain the in the receiver formed the door, walls a id lips as shove desc One of these walls 14% hasan .ening 15 at its lower end, and a secured to the receiver supports the articles the: This shelf 17 extends entirely acre 1 receiver tom the front to the rear, s shownin Fig. 2, and it also has a. projection or prong 18 extending, as to width, a slight distance only from the door but en ly across the receiver from side to si prong being of such width interfere with the move' o eject a package from the receiver One of the "lips 15 is provided with inturned part forming a rest 20 upon wh one end of the packages are shown in Fig, 1 of the drawing, this rest also being so disposed that it wilt interfere with movementof the r .s herein above explained. A wail projects from the door 13 at such distance from one of the walls 14 that it forms a coin chute 22, the lip 15 hearing the rest 20 forming one edge wall of this coin chute. The coin receiving foot 12 is slotted for the reception of a coin, as shown in Fig. l of the drawing, and has a thrust supporting side which is wider than the opposite side, extending above the upper edge of the latter, and which supports the coin against the thrust of the package and thus prevents the coin from becoming tipped so that it might passunderneath the package and thus not effect its removal. This coin receiving foot 12 is so located in the normal position of the vending lover (S that the slot will underlie the chute 22 anda coinpassed into the coin slot 11 will be dirented to the slotin the vending lever resting upon a ledge 24, notches 25 in which will prevent backward movement of the coin and lover after they have been once moved forward.

A delivery opening .27 is formed in the side of the casing 5 and a" trap 26 is so 10-. cated that it will guard the egress opening 18 against tampering as by means of instruments inserted through the egress and delivery openings. This trapis preferably pijmtedfas at 28 and it has a counterpoiise 25) which serves to hold the trap normally in its closed position. When a package 13 n ovcdfrom the receiver, as shown in dotted outlines in Fig. 1, the trap will serve at; a rest for the package which, it will be noted, is notmoved to'such an extent that it will drop o'ut'of theifopening 27, butiis retained therein so that it may be easily removed b the purchaser and withoutjfalling to the door.

terininin the extent of movement of the vending lever 6, and this may consist of the shelf 17 against which thecoin strikes or the counterpoise 29 which will directly engage the coin receiving foot 12 and thus determine the movement of the lever.

It will be noted that the connections of the vending and coin levers causes the guard 9 to cover the slot 11 atothe time the article is ejected from the receiver. In connection with this a stop 30 rests upon the pile of packages within the receiver with a stop pin 31 projecting from the under side. This @top will move downward with the packages, and when the last package has been-re? moved the sto will occupy its place, the pin 31 restin in rent of the coin receivin foot and hol ing the parts, as shown in otted 'pletely closing the coin slot 11.

tuting one wall of the receptacle and also of the coin chute is longer than the opposite 40 wall 14, the distance from the lip 20 to the lower edge of'the longer wall in fact being lessthan the thickness of one of the pack-- ages. This is for the purpose of preventing a package being pushed backward and-into the coin chute in which position it would:

intercept a coin and prevent operation of the device.
